I was contacted by Daniel Picard saying that her client was interested in ordering some of my crocheted items.
She stated that her client would send me a certified check via UPS and that a shipping company would pick up the items when they were ready.
She also instructed me to send via Western Union the remaining balance after I took out for the cost of my items, Western Union Fees and check cashing Fee to the shipping company.
When I received the check I took it to a local store and did as instructed.
I was then emailed by Daniel Picard telling me that her client wanted to make another order and proceeded to send me another check. When it came I could clearly see that it was altered.
I then called the bank and asked about the second check, she told me that there were no funds in that account.
I called about the first check and the bank told me that the account number wasn't in their computer.
I was contacted by the store owner, he told me that there was a problem with the check, that he wanted his money of course, that he would give me a week to clear some of this up and if I didn't he would call the athorities and take me to court.
I emailed the shipping company, told them the situation and asked for the money to be returned. No reply yet.
Please help me, I don't want to go to jail for someone else's dishonesty.
I have all of the emails, copies of the instructions and copies of the checks.
